Alfred became the first coeducational institution in New York State and the second in the nation. About 2,000 full-time undergraduate and 300 graduate students work and live in 52 buildings on a scenic 232-acre hillside campus adjoining the village of Alfred. Another 400 acres of recreational land is just minutes away. The nonsectarian University is comprised of the privately endowed College of Business, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and the New York State College of Ceramics (Kazuo Inamori School of Engineering and School of Art and Design). Bachelors, masters, and doctoral degrees are awarded as the culmination of Alfred University’s academic and professional programs. In 1938, the Board of Trustees of Alfred University established the Graduate Division of the College of Liberal Arts. This action was motivated by both a desire to implement and encourage research and a concern for the improved training of secondary school
